I am amazed that the case, which obviously has had limited use and wear, shows the upper chamfers on the lugs tapering to a far narrower end than some of the guideline 1st Exec.

Apparently  the cases were either not machined very precisely to specification but with wide tolerances or some watch cases altered a bit when reworked in more recent times.

Thanks again
